"我把所有希望和欲望的陵墓交给你，我把它交给你不是为了让你记住时间，而是为了让你偶尔忘记时间，不要把所有的气力都用在征服时间上。"
— William Faulkner

Simplified Meaning:
The quote is telling us that sometimes, it's important to take a break from always thinking about our goals and dreams. Imagine if you're constantly worried about achieving success, you may never relax or enjoy the present moment. Just as someone might visit a beautiful park to forget their daily stresses, the quote suggests setting aside our ambitions once in a while so we can truly live in the moment. If you're always focused on the future, you might miss the simple joys happening around you right now. By occasionally forgetting about time and goals, you can refresh your mind and find balance. This break allows you to enjoy life more fully and appreciate what you have now, instead of always chasing what's next.
